You need to practice before going online. Just training mode or whatever isn't exactly something that works. The best way is to learn how to stun, do consecutive combo's, right timing for ultra's and the best methods of what you're able to dodge and when you will block things. Fighting against a AI at hard or even higher isn't exactly fun if you can't practice those things, if it just spams one attack.

[EDIT]-----------------------------------

Back to being able to do Ultra 1's and a few Ultra 2's with 6 different.

After almost 2 years i logged back in my lifetime membership account .
So many new powers i don't know which one to start playing with first , so i made a few characters with some of the new powers , leveling them a bit and see which is more fun .
Kinda missed my ice tank . Kinda sad when a tank does more dmg than a DPS character ...

Trying to get this ultra combo to work 100% of the time I try it, atm I'm kind of at the 40%-50%. Heavy shoryuken is only 20%, shoryuken from the left side 60% and from the right side 30%, Ultra 2 (the useless one) 90%, Metsu hadouken super 80%.

But the best practice is going up against human opponents online or offline with friends and learning your characters strengths/weaknesses against certain playstyles (which the AI would never use), and THEN refining your timing and execution in training mode. Actually, all you need in Street Fighter for most characters is to know their BnB's, what strategies to use and who/who not to use it against to get started being competent online.

You're making it seem a lot more complicated than it really is.

No, you can get the fundementals of combo's in training mode, and to use them in actual fights you practice in arcade. Often you find too many button mashers in the online matches, which makes you either block 99% of the time, or jump back and bring in a occasional kick to win. The best way to actually practice is going against the AI on hard or higher, but if the AI uses the standard zangrief playstyle by closing in and then just constantly grabbing you (which basicly how zangrief is played) you just can't practice that well, except in low kicks to avoid the grabs.

I've always done it like this, and I'm actually a previous top 10 world ranker in the online matches of street fighter x tekken (even though ultra's are a lot easier to perform in that game, the combo system is sitll the same)

You can't learn anything against people that keep closing and just spamming specials and whatever, cause that way you won't even have to chance to try your own stuff out. So the steps are basicly

1) Choose a character you wish to try/main.
2) Go into training mode and learn their reach, recoils and speed
3) Try practicing the basic combo's and if you can perform them with a kick or punch before it happens you can practice ultra's. (or skip it)
4) Go into arcade to take everything you've tried out in the training to use in the actual gameplay
5) If you're decent against the AI, go online and fight for real, even though you'll lose 80% of the time.

Street fighter is one of the harder fighting games out there, it's not like Tekken or Killer instinct.
